Responsibilities

Serves as the bio-informatics subject matter resource for pediatric oncology precision medicine initiatives.
Partners with physicians, pharmacists, nurses, laboratory teams, analysts, operational leaders, and other stakeholders to define, design, and optimize precision medicine workflows.
Designs and optimizes structured capture of oncology, molecular, genomic, diagnosis, staging, treatment, and outcomes data to improve usability for patient care, quality, operations, analytics, and research.
Participates in design review, integrated testing, workflow validation, defect triage, issue resolution, and go-live/post-go-live optimization for precision medicine workflows.
Collaborates with technical teams to ensure data workflows, content, and decision-support tools are configured in alignment with clinical intent, safety requirements, pediatric considerations, and organizational standards.
Supports development and optimization of Epic based clinical decision support tools, results review workflows, documentation tools, and reporting structures for oncology precision medicine use cases.
Promotes data quality, data governance, interoperability, and standardization for oncology and precision medicine data across Epic and downstream systems.
Partners with analytics, registry, quality, and research stakeholders to enable reliable precision medicine datasets, operational reporting, cohort identification, outcomes analysis, and precision medicine initiatives.
Collaborate in design and implementation of analysis pipelines in several areas of precision medicine including analysis of patient-derived genomic data.
Support best practices for data governance, provenance, documentation, and reproducibility in handling human genomic data.
Work with institutional resources to implement secure computational environments and appropriate data access practices.
Lead WGTS analysis strategies for discovery science, developing and overseeing scalable bioinformatics pipelines to generate actionable genomic and transcriptomic insights for research and translational programs.
Drive cross-functional scientific collaboration by partnering with internal researchers, academic investigators, and other stakeholders to design studies, interpret WGTS data, and advance high-impact discovery initiatives.
Build and strengthen partnerships by serving as a technical and scientific lead for joint projects, data-sharing efforts, and collaborative research programs that expand innovation and biomarker discovery.
